or progress bars.

That is, "tracknum - title [artist, album]", where most fields are only displayed if
available. Could also be rendered as "filename" or "tracknum - title [artist]".

If you haven't selected a .wps file in the /.rockbox directory, you get the hard coded
wps layout. The default WPS screen is for player:
%s%pp/%pe: %?it<%it|%fn> - %?ia<%ia|%d2> - %?id<%id|%d1>

%pc%?ps<*|/>%pt

And for recorder:
%s%?it<%?in<%in. |>%it|%fn>

%s%?ia<%ia|%?d2<%d2|(root)>>

%s%?id<%id|%?d1<%d1|(root)>> %?iy<(%iy)|>

on the hard disk. The only restriction is that the filename must end in .cfg
Hint: Use the "Write .cfg file" feature (Main Menu-> General Settings) to save the
current settings, then use a text editor to customize the settings file.
